With an app called a VPN you can make it appear as if you are in the USA or Russia and watch on any website no matter what country you’re in. So if you’re in the UK, Australia, Germany or any other country in the world you can stream the entire fight free.

When is Smith vs Holzken on?
Smith vs Holzken takes place on Saturday 24th February 2018.
The action kicks off from 7 pm but the actual fight is more likely to take place around 9 or 10 pm with the undercards and various pieces of entertainment filling up the earlier time schedules.
The fight will take place in Nuremberg, Germany which will no doubt encourage home support for Brähmer which is neutral ground for both fighters but with a large following, Liverpudlian Smith is unlikely to be without a few fans ringside.
Who will the winner of Smith vs Holzken face and when?
Last Saturday’s fight between Eubank Jr and Groves ended in a unanimous decision for Groves who has booked his place the final.
The winner of the Smith vs Holzken fight will meet Groves in the final of the World Boxing Super Series.
The final date is yet unconfirmed although rumour suggests it is likely to take place in June this year. If Smith manages to progress it will be an all out British final and would likely take place at the o2.
If Holzken progresses then the final could be held either in the UK or the Netherlands, although a recent tweet suggests the o2 arena in London is the likely venue for the final regardless of who takes part.
With Groves leaving the ring on Saturday with what looked like a suspected dislocated shoulder he’ll be hoping the final is as far off in the future to give him time to recover.
